Reasoning for fighting for their rights was due to the fact that the government would commonly break the treaties that they had with the NA. Another thing was that they were to take over the Alcatraz and when the daughter of the head chief was killed, they decided to retaliate. In result to this, they wanted to be respected for their people and culture. However, in order to achieve this they seized the town of Wounded knee, SD, took hostages and had shootouts with authorities. ]]> 2019-06-12 18:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/787843/uehzdiaifjnj/wish/367249732 787843 https://padlet.com/787843/uehzdiaifjnj/wish/367251588 As part of the Bracero Program during the 40's, 50's, and 60's, Hispanic Americans were faced with prejudice/ discrimination when it came to finding jobs and looking to buy houses.

They were highly motivated to do this when the WWII just ended and they thought if they could fight for a country that wasn't even their's then they should be having equal rights in voting, being served, having an equal education, etc. It first started out when four kids went to sit at a counter and waited to be served and they were being harassed by getting things thrown at them, getting beaten up This took a lot of public embarrassment, brutality and non-violent actions, along with sometimes others being murdered just to get equal rights as white men and women. They wanted to get rid of Jim crow laws that was able to separate colored from whites in any type of public usage. For instance, schools, water fountains, bathrooms, libraries and get rid of poll taxes.]]> 2019-06-12 19:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/787843/uehzdiaifjnj/wish/367253433
